  Your eye area is even more susceptible to the negative impact of unprotected sun exposure. He resulting sun damage causes the skin around your eyes to lose its elasticity, which in turn allows more fluid to accumulate in the area. In addition, sagging skin just tends to look puffier. In that way, you can apply wet washcloths with ice water on your swelling eyes, then you will soon feel better. Moreover, you can try placing cool, wet tea bags on top of it. Moreover, topical and oral OTC medications containing both painkillers and anti-inflammatory agents can help with very painful sunburn swelling. Products containing aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen are popular choices, as many people find that these products provide faster relief for swelling and pain than alternative treatments.

  If you get exposure too much under the strong sunlight, you will easily get swelling eyes. However, you may need one week to let the eyes get recovery. During this time, you'd better not be in the strong light and not eat spicy food that stimulate the allergic symptom. You can also adopt the warm cloth on the eyes to release the swelling eyes.
